So.. if I were to take PGP, put it on a floppy disk, tape it to a model rocket, and launch it across the mexican border, that's not exporting it (although the FAA might complain)?
As I read the regs, it's not an export at the moment it's launched, but it's almost certainly an export when it reaches Mexican airspace or when it touches Mexican soil.
Well now, I didn't send it accross the border. I sent it up. wind sent it accross the border.
The "rocket exception" is not useful vis-a-vis crypto. Period. I'm very sorry I ever had anything to do with this thread and I'm not posting about it again.
